Okay, that's it. I'm TIRED of hearing it.

You think I'm too expensive? Tough freaking luck. Here, go somewhere else. I'll even link you to every fursuit maker I can find that's noticeably cheaper than I am.

There. Knock yourselves out.

(And for reference, because apparently some of you haven't noticed this, YES my prices go up. The more suits I make, the better I am at making them, the more I charge. This is how it works. Currently the price is $1,100 for a standard full suit, which includes many features that are extra from others, but I put in most of the nice stuff standard. If that's really too much for you, well... see above. And know that this time next year, it will almost certainly be more. Because I will be better still.)

For the record, no place close to your quality.

Heh. I don't know about that. There are plenty of others who make stuff as good as I, and even a few who make it better. They just cost more than I do.

Gah, fursuits are a luxury item. no-one gets to bitch when luxuries are expensive - you pay what they are worth

I agree completely, with this. Even though more and more people are becoming fursuiters, and more and more people making them as well, they're still just that, a luxury. I think some people have started to see them as almost a requirement, of sorts, and that idea creeps me out just a little bit.

Some customers will drive you nuts and want something for nothing. You don't even want to sell to nit pickers like that. Never worth the headakes they cause.
just remember some people are just that way don't let it get you agraveted..
Rock On!!!!!!!!!!

I rather spend a few extra $$$ than get low-quality junk. I always avoid them cheap fursuit makers for a reason. I may have more work for ya soon.

I'm glad I got in while the gettin' was good! :D I like your work, it's very good and you're a good person and your customer service totally effing rocks. Also, I just have to put this out, Shengoh's a good person and while she is cheaper, her quality is pretty good, too. Good Texas fur, there.

Yeah, those on the list are fine fursuit makers. Just largely not as experienced yet. Well, and one or two of them are better suitmakers than they are businessmen, if that makes sense.

Sweet, I didn't know Jax's prices were so reasonable. I thought Jax was like $1500 for a full suit.

Sorry if I'm the one that got you upset... you are a great fursuiter and honestly I'm willing to fork it out with money when its deserved so its not like I'm cheap. I guess I just personally didn't think you were at the level to be that expensive yet. And that's entirely my own personal opinion, no hard feelings... just being honest.

Good luck actually /getting/ a suit from Jax. His prices are fine, his cusomter service and completion times leave something to be desired.

You get what you pay for.

I never said I'd actually get a suit from Jax. Its definitely something to consider when I decide to get a suit of Ravenhowl- but I have no idea when that will be. Still, I'd like to get quotes from as many fursuiters as I can. Ravenhowl will be a difficult suit to tackle, especially because I want it to be a full suit.

I've heard some bad news about Jax, but not anything major that springs to mind. I just remember a lot of silly pointless drama over Jax's gender.

I guess people don't understand that custom work + time + quality = $$$ Though it's worth it in the long run.

Bah. Granted I haven't been in the market much but you do amazing work and I can only imagine how much time and effort you put into your work. To me your creations are wonderful and worth every penny and more!
